Veterans Wall Of Honor In Bad Shape


A friend had a person from out of town to visit for the weekend who wanted to go to the Veterans Wall of Honor at Heritage Park in McDonough.  So, they took him and he was taken aback by some things he saw there.  This man is a Veteran of the United States Navy and he is an electrician and electrical inspector where he lives.  He said that there is some shoddy electrical work that was done at this site.  He could not believe that it passed inspection.  He also noted that the plaques on the Wall are missing some stars that hold them on the Wall.  He walked down the Walk of Honor and noticed that the black is coming off several of the names.  He said that there needs to be some serious maintenance done to this Veterans military site.  He said the Wall needs a thorough cleaning and wondered if there is regular inspections on this area.  Our friend really did not know how to answer him.  Our friend was embarrassed by what this man found at the Wall of Honor.   Maybe the county needs to look into maintaining this area better than they have in the past.  This place that is used to honor those who have served and died for this nation should have better care.  It looks like those at the County leadership level have different priorities and agendas instead of keeping up what they have already.
